STEPS

1. In a blender, add the spinach and the rest of the ingredients. Start with ½ cup vegetable milk and adjust if necessary.

2. If you’re only using frozen fruits (mango, pineapple, banana), wait 5-10 minutes before mixing everything in order to let the fruit thaw slightly.

3. If necessary, scrape the edges of the blender with a spatula and blend again.

4. Pour into a bowl and garnish with our favourite toppings (granola, fresh fruit, seeds, nuts, fresh mint, etc.)

Fun Fact: Did you know that Yogi flavour is one of the very first 3 flavours ever created by Evive? Bursting with its sweet taste of bananas and pears, it’s no wonder why it’s a fan favourite!
